No, software will not compensate for out of square. But it is not difficult to fix.

If the machine is anything like my little 3040, then you could loosen the screws on the bed and gantry and bring it into square. Use a good engineers square to true everything up and then tighten the screws back up slowly checking your alignment every so often.

With the ebay stuff they probalby have been banged about on the trip from China so we have heard a number of cases on here with them being out of square. Some have advocated the hammer approach but I am more in favor of a subtle approach.


Every machining workshop should have a good engineers square, if you do not have one then I am sure you can pick one up pretty cheap from your equivalent of "Machinemart"
